Free Friday - Sound Formations

Free Admission for All! 12 pm-7 pm

Exhibition Dates: April 5 - July 13, 2025

“Sound Formations: Artist, Musician, Instrument Maker” guest curated by Michael Kotzen and Martin Maudal, focuses on instruments and their makers. The instrument is a bridge between the hand of the maker and the hand of the musician, where the harmony of material, body and acoustics forms stunning visual designs. Claremont has made a significant impact on the music world and this exhibition also recognizes the important contributions of resident musicians and important landmarks, including the Folk Music Center, established by Charles and Dorothy Chase in 1958, and the Golden Ring music café which opened in 1965. For many years, Claremont’s live music culture thrived, largely due to the annual Folk Festival and the numerous live music venues in the area.

The exhibition will include the works of Henry Barnes, Richard Barnes, Charles Chase, Otto D'Ambrosio, David Dart, Kirk Delman, Kris Erickson, Pete Escovedo, Steve Goode, Mike Kotzen, Martin Maudal, Father Bill Moore, Brian Ransom, Elizabeth Redd, Jom Rivers, Victoria Rosas, Warren Shingleton, Dave Tourje, and Larry White.

The exhibition is generously sponsored by Skapik Law Group, the Chouinard Foundation and RK Diversified Entertainment.
